SUMMARY / COMMENTARY:

*Summer of Sam* (R) -- My mistake...I should have never seen it.

I will not have much to say about *Summer of Sam* because to describe it in any detail would make this analysis vulgar itself. I am not even going to list the vulgarities and obscenities in this movie. I know I have said that I would faithfully share with you all observations, but in this case I just can't -- the movie is that vulgar. I'll just give you the numbers generated by the plethora of smut in this movie.

I believe *Summer of Sam* was an XXX sex-murder movie toned down to merit the R rating. There were at least seven gore-ific gunfire murders in this very dark and ugly show. I've seen just about everything by now and I could take only 65 minutes of this "movie." Who knows about the last part of the show -- and who cares.

In this case with Summer of Sam, there is no listing of observed ignominy. I have the listing on file with the operational forms but I will not display it. However, the CAP Thermometers and the CAPCon Alert are available below and are still the best comparative tools available for parents and grandparents.




FINDINGS / SCORING:

The listing of ignominy in this film are on file. The listing is not fit for display due to the vulgarity of the movie.
